In the fields the Chinese are cultivating all the vegetables, such as rctatccs, turnip-' carrot' parsley, celery, onions, and delivering them daily to the city, This is. indeed, a great contrast with the weather most cf your readers are now exptrieiicing east 0: the mountains and the great lukes.

The Ink riaut. Ti.erc i.-. ;d Xcw Crenada a plant, Cory- :tr;a Thyizjifolia, which might be dangerous to rur ill it manufacturers if it could be ac- i-i.n.atizcd to Europe. Jl is known under the name ci the ink plant. Its juice, called chanchi, ccn be used in wiiting without any previous preparation. The letters traced with it are of a reddish color at first, l)nt turn to a deep black in a few hoars. The juice also spoils steel pens less than comm.cn irk. Tne qualities cf the plant seem to ave been diteovered under the Spanish ad- n.inistration. Some writings, intended for the mother country, were wet through with 5 ea water on the voyage while the papers w.ittenwith common ink were almost il- legible, these with the juice of that plant were quite unspoil-'d. Orders were given in cocEcquence that ti-is vegetable ink was to be n=€d fcr all public documents. â€" Xeio York Star. The Cbinese Fettle. The following memoraJtAam mw drawn up by Gen. (Chinese) Gordon in 1881 for the inrorioatioa of the Chinese Government, and has many points of interest in the pre- cent situation â€" "la spite of the opinion of some foreign- ers, it will be sieneraUy acknowledged that the Chinese are e»ntented and liappy, and the coimtry is rich and prosperous, and that the people are ati fond united in their sentiments and ardently desire to remain a nation. At constant intervals, however, the whole cf this human hive is stirred by some dispute between the Pekin Government and some foreign power. The Chinese people, proud of their ancient prestige, applaud tiie high tone taken up by the Pekin Govern- ment, crediting the government with the power to support their strong words. This goes on for a time when the government gives in, and corresgonding vexation is felt by the people. The recurrence of these dis- putes, the inevitable surrender ultimately of the Pekin Government, has the tendency of shakint; the Chinese j;)eoplfc'8 confidence in the central government. The central government appreciate the fact that little by little their prestige is being destroyed by their own actions among the Chinese people; each crisis then becomes â-  tnore accentuated or difficult to surmount, ' as the central government know; each concession is an- other nail in their coffin. The central gov- ernment fear that the taking ud of a spirited position by any pre-eminent Cainese would cirry the Chinese people with him, and therefore the central government endeavor to keep up appearances and to fckirt the precip'ce of war a^ niar as thpy possibly can, while never intending to enter into war. "The central government residing in the extremity of the middle kingdom, away from the great infljences which are now working in China, can nevtT alter one iota from what they were years ago they are being steadily left behind by the people they govern. They know this, and en- deavor to stern these influences in all ways in their power, hoping to keep the people • backward and in ignorance, and to retard their progress to the same pace (sic) they themselves go, if it can be called a pace at all. "It is there fore a in:'xim that 'no progress can be made by the Pekin Government.' To them any progress, whether slow or quick, is syncnymoua with slow or quick ex- tinction, for they will never move. "The term, 'Pekin Oirovernment ' is used advisedly, for if the central government were moved from Pekin into some province wliere the pulsations and aspirations of the Chinese people could have their legitimate cfTect, then the central government and Chinese people having r. uiiibon of thought, V, ouid work together. 'Tt may be asked. How can the present state of things be altered ' How can China maintain the t igh position that the wealth, ineUistry, snd iana'^e goodness of the Chin- ese pcoplb entitle her to have among the nations of the world Some may say by the revolt of this Chinaman cr of that China- m.tn. To me this s-^ems m.ost uts desirable, for, in the first place, such aeticn v, onld not have the blessing of GoJ, and, in the second, it would result in the country being pi 0:1 g- ed into civil war. Tne fair, upiiglit, and open course for the Chinese people to take is to w^rk. through the press and by peti- tions, on the central government, and to re- quest them to move frcm Pekin and bring them.ielves thus int.T more unison with the Chinese people, and thus save that people the constant humiliations tley have got to put up with owing to the seat of the central government being at Pekin. This recom- mendation would need no secret societies, no rebellion, no treason. If taken cp and persevered in, it must tuc3sed, and not one life need he lost. "The central government at Pekin could not answer the Chinese people except in the affirmative when the Chinese people say to the central government â€" 'By you residing aloof from us in Pekin, where you are ex- posed to danger, you separate our interest from yours, and you bring on us humilia- tion which we would never have to bear if doa resided in the interior. Take our ap- plication into consideration, and grant our wishes.' "1 have been kindly .treated by the central Pekin Government and by the Chinese people it is for the welfare cf bot'n parties that I have written-fenel signed this paper. 1 may have expressed myself too strongly with respect to the non- progressive state of the Pekin Government, who may desire the welfare of the middle kingdom aa ardently as any other Chinese but aa long as the T'ekin Government allows themselves to be led and directed by those drones of the hive, the censors, so long must the Pekin Govern- ment bear the blame earned by those drones in plunging China into difficulties. In the insect world the bees get rid of the drones in the hive." How Bismarck Divided tlic Eggs. How to divide five eggs between three people ia a problem which might fairly puz- zle a philosopher, but the practical genius of Prince Bism.arck has solved that, as it has many other diffiaulties which have proved too much for profound thinkers. The only wonder is that, as ho made the discovery as many as thirteen years ago, it should only now have been given to the w^orld in the pages of the Deutsche Revue. It appears that it was on the evening cf Gravelotte, after a day when the prince, lik? everybody else had had nothing to eat, and was hungry â€" hungrier, we may presume, than anybody. He had, however, the good fortune to Becure five eggs for twenty francs, and the gener- osity to share them with two of his compan- ion'^. Bat foreseeing the mathematical dif- ficulty which would arise were he to attempt ati equal division, he took the precaution to cat two of the five himself first, and then dashed cfl to his comrades, and with a great show of magnanimity made a fair distribu- tion of the remaining three, keepmg to him- self all knowledge of the two he had so con- veniently got rid of. A rapacious statesman would have kept all the eg^s, and a Quixotic statesman would have kept only one of them. Bat it is Prince Bismarck's peculiar distinction to combine sedulous attention to the interests of number one with an efifec- tive display of unselfishueBS. He has div- ided .countries ere now on the principle on which he dealt with the five eggs. â€" Pall Mall Oatxtte A 6ALILEEAK TILLldE. some Jews Wo Wtinf Nevor Been 3ii» e nied. In one of the most remote and sebJoded valleys i« the mountains of northern Gali- lee lies a village, the small population of which poEsesaea an interest altogether unique. As T looked down upon it from the precipitous and dangerous pajl^, by means of which I was skirtinig the flanjk of the. mountain I thought I had rarely seen a spot cf euch ideal beauty. It was an oasis â€" not actually in a desert, for. the rocky mountain ranges were covered with wUd herbage'r-but in a savage' wilderness of deso- lation, ia the midst of which the village nestled in a forest of orange, almaud, fig, and pomegranate trees, the tiny rills of wa- ter by which they were irrigated glistening like stiver threads in the sunlight, and the yellow crops beyond contrasting with the dull green of the hill verdure long deprived of water, and the gray rocks which reared thei'T craggy pinnacles above it. The name of the village was Bakoia. I had heard vaguely of the existence of a spot ia Galilee where a community of Jews lived who claimed to be the descendants of fami- lies who had tilled the land in this sama lo- cality prior to the destruction of Jerusalem and the subseqaont dispersion of the race and as it had never been suspected that any remnant of the nation had clang to the* soil of their fathers f; oti time immemorial, and as it is certain that this is the only remnant that has, I t'jok some trouble to ascertain the name of the villcge, and felt that it â- wa.t v/orth a pilgrimage to visit ii;. Al- though hitherto known to Europeans and tourists, it has been for many years a ppot much frcc|Uf,nted by the Jews of the Stfed and Tiberias, and this summer, espeoialiy, tvhen the cholera panic prevailed in the c:nntry, there wes a perfect rash of the wealthier Jews and rabbis of those towns to its pure air and bracing climite. In a small way it is a sort of Jewish sanitarium. •^m**' t 1 1 ^i â€" Ladies Who Smoke Cigars. "I want two cigars," said a well-dressed and lady -like looking person in a west end drugstore. "Not too strong â€" there, that is the bix," she 8aid,^ndicating a brand of bright-colored "Cabannas." The two chocolate hued rolls of tobicco were duly wrapped up, delivered and paid for. The lady paid for them with as much unconcern aa though it were a bottle of col- ogne she was carrying off. "Do you have much call for cigars by ladies " asked the reporter, who was wait- ing for some patent brain food. •'We sell as many, either to ladies or on their order by mcisengers, as we do to men," answered the cotupouader of prescrip- tions from .strictly pine drugj and chemi- cals. "What liiad ilo they call for mostly " de- manded the reporter. "Mostly mild five-centers, though there is a run oa teas of full flivor by old hands, C garottes used to go in th;.t direction, but they color the fi'jgeis of the fairetn Iters too mnch, and they don' kr.cw enough to use 'smokers.' " '•l)j they buy tiiem o'ctensibly for home consumption, or are they procuied for 'my brother ' " "Oh, there is little attempt at conceal- ment after the first few purchases. E.Kcase me," replied the pill man, as he started for a remote corner of the store where a fair thing in sealskin was modestly waiting at- tention. No visit was paid to the cigar case but she took away a supply done up in aa unsuspicious package. ' Sae is a new customer, anel I keep 'her brother's box' under tiie counter with the pills and things, to save her blushes. After a while she will not mind." â€" Washington Post. â- ! I «â-  She Had Beeu Waiting. In a certain Sanday S:hool in this city there ii a young lady teacher who is as pretty as she is good. Last Sanday she read to her class of girls the parable of the wi^e and faolijh virgins, and, as is the cus- tom with Sanday School teachers, she sought, whan she had concluded the read- ing, to impress a mjral lesson upon the infant mind, "Now girls," she said, "what do we learn from this parable?" And there was a silence for the spaoe of one minute, and then the eldest girl in the class said "We l^.arn that we snotilJ alwaj.s be ready and w.iiting lor the bridegroom to ctm ;. Acel someho'w, the young and pretty lady teacher thought that she had never seen it ia that light before.
